December: week 3

Last night we celebrated Christmas with Ryan's mom and siblings. What fun! We always get food storage items. It is awesome.

Fisher LOVES Play-Doh. He even played for 3 hours the other day. Here he is so happy to get new stuff!

Cannon got two Lego games!

THANK YOU REED! Fisher is so active, too active for the games we have. When we got home form the party Fisher bowled for an hour.

We are out of school for two weeks. Cannon earned a week of Wii borrowing. I'll have to get pictures of us playing. We are having so much fun. But, I am glad we don't own it. Time flies when we play it. I am loving canoeing on Resort. I am not good, but laugh the whole time. Thank you Darcy for sharing.

December: week 2

Every year my family attends Utah Symphony's Lollipop Concert. It is $10, 45 minutes and geared toward kids. It is so much fun. Santa is there to meet and he even conducts a song!

No bad seat at Abravanel Hall!

December: Week 1

Fisher LOVES candy and chocolate!

Cannon would like to be many things when he grows up including a scientist.

He would also like to play for the Utes (Jr. Jazz season again).

We went to Logan for the annual Christmas party. I made this for Ryan's Grandma.

Please Santa, Fisher would like Gator Golf.

Cannon would like Lego Hero Factory motorcycle.

Cannon spontaneously played Jingle Bells from memory at our Ward Party.

(BTW, our church building will be rebuilt after an arson fire. We'll be back in it in one year.)

November!

Finally it snowed!

For Thanksgiving we went to Park City. Everyone went, Mom and Dad, Kris and Tanner, Grandma, Peggy and her kids, Penny and her family, Kimberly and her family, most of Norm and Kelly's kids. We stayed at the Marriott right at the resort. We had four suites. It was awesome. We all cooked our parts of dinner in our rooms and met in Penny's for dinner. Some people snowboarded/skied. We hot tubbed a lot. This is the view from my families suite. Just to the right in the dark is the ski lift. Thank you Penny and Erik for providing such a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Because the weather was so warm on Friday night, something like 10 degrees, we decided to check out the Holiday lights at Temple Square. I am so sorry for those of you who don't get to experience this every year.

Cannon was actually interested in the Christmas Story this year. Doesn't he look excited?

We went bowling last night. I bowled a 166. That is darn good for me.

My camera technician fixed my camera problem. Seems I can't format a memory card. Nor can I pretend to know what setting to shoot from. Anyway, I hope my pictures are going to be better.

Halloween: the Last Installment

The work crew.
McKaye as Wendy, Me as Peter Pan, Jamie as Tink, Destinee as Captain Hook and Joann as Smee.

I think there are eight new posts. Ryan figured out why my camera wouldn't talk to the computer. Some programming problem. And why my picture card wouldn't, turns out I should have formatted it. Lesson learned.

Happy Halloween!

Fisher loved Trick-or-Treating. We trick-or-treated in the classrooms at school on Thursday. He knew what he was doing on Saturday. He didn't even care that it was pouring rain and he was soaked.

Scary Food!

Cannon making mummy toes.

Mmmm!

Skeleton Cupcakes.

After the fun, the boys used up the rest of the gel and frosting to turn the mummies into zombies. No one actually ate one, but it sure was fun!

Halloween Party:3

I spent Friday the 29th at school with Cannon. I love to go to school with him and am so glad he still thinks it is cool!

Ghost Rider with fire hair and face paint. Cannon loves to dress up so his costume had many versions this year. All I had to buy was the cool jacket!

I loved this chicken costume. She was so funny the whole day. She carried an egg around to lay. Loved it.

Halloween Party: 2

This years annual party was at my Aunt Peggy's with all of my mom's sisters families. Tons-o-fun.

Pin the nose on the witch.

I had a student paint the witch during class.

Bad picture, but I wanted to show that I made my older cousins play the games. Here is play-doh shapes. Josh at work. He is headed off to the Air Force in January.When did he grow up?

The kids making their play-doh shapes.

Fisher's tongue always pops out when he is concentrating.

Lego Mania

Toys R Us had a Lego racecar event. We love Lego events: fun and free!

Building his car.

Waiting for brother.

2nd place

Still young

We have had these Little People toys for 6 years, at least. I pulled them out for Fisher and later found Cannon playing with them. I guess he hasn't outgrown them, yet.

Fish went through a period where he couldn't have the nightlight on or he'd stay awake. This month he has been so hard to put to bed. He even slept on my floor. Then, guess what? He wants the nightlight on. Problem solved!
